We could not be more excited to announce Board Games Direct – a lively series of previews that covers a whole bunch of games coming out in 2025 and beyond! Tom and Matt went slightly bananas learning, playing, filming and editing over 50 different board and card games for this bonkers preview event.
Tune in next week! We cannot wait to show you these games…

Three kinds of wood, all alike in dignity. Except one of them is on fire, and one of them has a lot of toothy rodents in it. I’m really straining to find some way of making a kind of beaver ratatouille joke, but it’s not coming naturally. ‘Beavertouille, he only does Dams this time?’. I don’t know. Get out of my restaurant.

It’s been over THREE YEARS since we uploaded a collection video, so we thought that a tour through Tom’s newer, shinier, more exciting selection of boardgames was due! What’s changed after several more years playing game after game, big and small? You’ll have to watch to find out…

PAX East! Truly the highlight of everyone’s July!
For whatever reason, it’s taken us absolutely ages to get round to covering the board games that we played at PAX East – but better late than never! This is especially true in this pod right here, where we’ve got three hot servings of board game to ladle directly into the laps of our ravenous listenership. We’ve got a starter and dessert made of space – with Galileo Galilei and Moon Colony Bloodbath protecting a gooey fantasy center all made of Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship!
Have a great weekend, everybody!

This week, Tom’s been wrestling Innovation – perhaps the most peculiar deck of cards money can buy. Trying to play ‘Hearts’ with this badboy will surely get you removed from the function. 110 cards of human history, crammed into a box the size of a “not very big box”! What more could you want?

It’s the return of the video podcast! As pioneers of the format, we felt a burden to perfect the ‘difficult second album’ – and we think the results speak for themselves. It’s a podcast, with video! Literally what more could you possibly ever want.
Tom and Matt have played a bundle of great games from South Korean publisher ‘Playte’ and whacked them all into a silly video. We hope you enjoy it!
